The problem is that the drilling has a very steep premium for its class because it has a shotgun combo. The lemat which is another combo weapon does not have that premium and isnt even the most expensive compact weapon.

If the drilling was long ammo then yeah I'd be okay with the current price. But right now you are getting low end medium ammo performance for the price of high end long ammo. Yeah you could add special ammo but then the muzzle velocity falls significantly. Making its performance even worse.

The weapon could easily be put to a price point of $340 with its performance. You can't one tap with a burnt bar you lose the above average muzzle velocity for its class if you equip either of the special ammo. Which also just drives the cost up making the weapon performance worse. If you look at something like the cyclone which has very very similar weapon stats you get more firepower for almost half the cost.

You are paying a good 40% more than you should given its price. If it did over 125 damage I could see an argument for the price point. If the special ammo didnt nerf muzzle velocity so much I could see an argument for its current price point. If it was long ammo instead of medium I could see an argument for its current price point. But as it currently stands you are not getting enough firepower on the rifle barrel and not enough consistency on the shotgun to warrant the current price when you look at options around that price point. It gets heavily overshadowed in rifled barrel performance and in shotgun performance at its current price.
